Nanomaterial Based Long-Range Ruler Can Screen Prostate Tumor

Paresh Ray   (Jackson State University),  DMR-Award # 1205194

Since the ability to detect very low levels of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) may enable doctors to diagnose men with prostate cancer recurrence, it has the capability to reduce prostate cancer-related mortality and morbidity.
